What Is CoSchedule?

CoSchedule is a marketing calendar for planning, scheduling and executing social posts, content and marketing tasks.

Best for: Marketing teams running an editorial calendar.

CoSchedule arranges social publishing and marketing work around a calendar, making ownership and timing visible across campaign assets. Organizations can start with calendar workflows and add more social or project capabilities; the product should be evaluated for editorial coordination, not as an alternative to deep website analytics.
